hi, i just found this board yesterday.. i have a question or two.. for one i am sorry if this is not where i should post this.. if it is not please direct me where to go .. 1st question... is this for current witnesses or ex witnesses?
i havent been to the kingdom hall for almost 2 years.. i was directed here by someone who said it was for ex witnesses.. but the front page looks like it is for witnesses to have bible studies.. and such.. which is not what i am looking for i did that for 14 years.. till i got married had 2 kids and finally got a life now at the age of 24.
2nd... can you tell me which board on here a newbie like me can post their experinces and such.
Welcome NoLonger,
You'll fit right in - most of the posters at this site are in the "ex-JW"
category. We do have a few active JW's
whom we generally 'get along with' -
and an occasional 'other' type dropping by....for various reasons.
Think you'll like it here - post away!
just a little note to let you know you are in my prayers!
i know tomorrow you go before the gullitione.
hope everything works out for you.
Dear Simon and Angharad
Three hours!!!!some 'chat', eh. I don't think they will send you anything in writing of any significance...no explanation, probably just your are now "formally disassociated." They have just got to have the last word and stick a label on you!
Well, mostly, it's done and over
-- probably physically/emotionally draining and a relief at the same
time (sigh).
The time is flying by - won't be long before you are out of there - and I know you can't wait! Post more when you are up to it. We all think so much of you Simon - you have given us a place to vent, learn and heal...the best 'spot' on the 'net. Thank you so much dear man.
NOTE:
To you self-righteous crumbs who have been lurking at Simon's site and have
delighted in informing your so-called
elders - keep reading - maybe some time you'll be in the same position once you realize how you have been duped. But, guess what? - Simon, and others will be here for you should you find yourself in need of understanding and comfort.
TaTa :)
warning !.
the following "dictionary" may be very discomforting to true believers of jehovah's organization.
if you ask too many questions about these things you are told " jehovah will make it all clear in time.
Dear Bear,
I have it on good authority that bears can, indeed, 'vibrate and waggle' at the same time, hmmmmm not sure what body part(s) they were referring to though....hmmm........and more hmmmmmms.

1991, watchtower article you were bought with a price.
Grunt,
6...7 6-7... now they can't even count. The typical flip-flip of Brooklyn.
Regarding the tragedy of the blood issue:
I truly think I'm going to take a penny and see if I can get it cut per your
illustration. Carry it around with me to show people the absurdity of it all, if this issue comes up in conversation.
It's MURDER, plain and simple.
I remember that '94 Awake - still have it - and, it makes MY "blood" boil with the senselessness of it all! Grrrrr.
You know, one thing I remember clearly - at my KH there were at least ten of the so-called anointed. And, every single one of them were just as excited to get their copies of the Watchtower as any rank-and-file publisher to see
what "new light" was being dispensed.
Doesn't make any sense does it??????
No, none at all!
Thanks for the post Grunt.
i used to post over at h2o a long time ago and thought i would drop in and say hello.
i am very glad that someone has taken the time to set up another place where ideas about jehovahs witnesses can be freely posted and discussed.
this type of place is a great public service for people who are just starting to see through the thick fog and who are just beginning to recognize cracks in that grandiose, self-serving, anything-but-ivory, tower that has the gall to refer to itself as the truth.
Hello Atticus,
Glad you dropped in and hope you do so frequently.
Simon "the Brit" set this place up and we are all so appreciative. Looking forward to future postings.

Welcome DaNnY BeAR
Funny, I 'lurk' at H2O - so have seen your name there. Maybe I should get my feet wet over there! At any rate, we are glad to have you here.
My husband "Larc" and I unformally disassociated ourselves just a little before you got the 'boot.' But, you know, and I know, it doesn't matter how long you've been out - the experience 'marks' you in one way or another.
Looking forward to future posting from you Danny Bear. :) :)
my name is miriam.
i am a friend of johns.
last night he went to the hospital with severe abdonimal pains.
Dear Miriam,
Yes, thanks for letting us know. Please give Kismet my sincere hopes for a speedy recovery.
p.s. We have a daughter named Miriam Carmel - we call her MiMi :):)
